About Golden Tate Iii
Golden Tate III was a solid possession receiver who really hit his stride when he joined the Lions in 2014. That first year in Detroit was special, he hauled in 99 catches for over 1,300 yards and earned his first Pro Bowl nod. He was incredibly consistent for them, averaging almost six catches per game over his time there and putting up three different 1,000-yard seasons. Collectors like his cards because he was a reliable fantasy performer and had some great years in the Motor City. Look for his Lions cards from his peak years, and keep an eye out for any numbered parallels since he's got a solid following among Detroit fans.
In the midst of an 11-year NFL career, Tate became a Lion and a Pro Bowl honoree. His first season in Detroit in 2014 produced 99 catches for 1,331 yards — the second-leading level that he'd sustain with the NFC North team. He averaged 5.9 catches over 71 games and had three 1,000-yard seasons.

Dad’s Take on Golden Tate Iii
Look at this guy clutching that football like he's protecting his lunch money from the school bullies! Those gloves are so tight I bet he needs help peeling them off after practice. Sure, he had a decent season in 2014, but based on this panicked pose, looks like he's still running scared from defenders who haven't even shown up yet!
